KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: With the recent news that she’s set to marry rocker boyfriend James Righton (who she was introduced to by Alexa Chung), Keira Knightley has been a high-profile character in the news already. Now, with the film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina due out 7 September, she’s going to be all over the red carpet too. Keira is the queen of period dramas but how about shooting her looking amazingly modern in the likes of British designers like Christopher Kane and Simone Rocha with shoes from Nicholas Kirkwood? Plus, we want to know, who will she be wearing for her wedding? Will it be Chanel?
ELLE Q1: [Depending on when her wedding is] What has been your process for choosing a wedding gown? Do you get a lot of offers from designers? Would you ever need to pop to Pronovias and try some on? How many made the shortlist?

LINDSAY LOHAN: One of the standout ELLE issues for me was your September 2009 issue when Lindsay Lohan graced your cover in a stunning Rankin shoot but the writer had to keep trying to track her down for the interview. It'd be really interesting to re-unite her with the same writer who spent weeks chasing her and get all those questions answered and more. Since then, she’s been in and out of court hearings and gone off the film map but with the Lifetime Elizabeth Taylor biopic set to air later this year (possibly September in the US), everyone is suddenly talking about Lindsay Lohan’s comeback. The 25-year-old has looked incredible in all the set shots we’ve seen already and we all want to know if the talented actress is ready to get back on the radar, for all the right reasons.
ELLE Q1: Playing Elizabeth Taylor is going to be your first big role since 2009’s ‘Labor Pains’, why this? Why now? What drew you to the role?
ELLE Q2: You're only 26 but have been in the film industry for 14 years, in that time you’ve had run-ins with the press and the law - what have you learnt through all of this and what are you hoping to achieve in the future?
ELLE Q3: You made such a statement in court with those rude manicures, why did you do this? Do you use fashion as an outlet for things you feel you can't say out loud?

Although it won’t be her first time gracing the cover of Elle this year, appearing on the front pages of Elle UK, Elle Japan and Elle Portugal and with the final Twilight movie Breaking Dawn hitting screens this November, Dakota Fanning would be a perfect cover girl for Elle’s October issue, Stepping away from the oblivious choice that is Christine Stewart. Dakota has grown in front of our eyes from a little girl making a name for herself in “I Am Sam”, to a beautiful, stylish young starlet with multiple movies being released this year including “The Motel Life”, “Now Is Good” and how could we forget “Breaking Dawn- Part II” so there’s doubt she will have plenty to share with us.
What or who has inspired your fashion choices throughout the years?
How would you describe your style in terms of Dakota the movie star and Dakota the NYU Student?
I am sure a lot of our readers are desperate to know how you juggle Lectures, exams, assignments, On top of filming and yet, you still manage to look flawless. Please do share your secrets?
As the Elle team hand over the reins of the October issue, hoping to bring a fresh face to the magazine why not reflect this in the star gracing the cover, and correct me if I’m wrong, but this next young lady has never appeared on an Elle Cover before. Lily Collins in vast making a name for herself on the big screen with the recent release of “Mirror Mirror”, and you can be sure she has a number of movies in production including “Writers” and “The City of Bones”. However let’s not forget that Lily is not just an actress but an accomplished Model and Journalist, writing a column for Elle Girl titled “NY Confidential” as a teenager.
I’m going to jump right in and ask the question that’s on everyone’s lips, How was filming for “Abduction”, spending day after day with the ever so beautiful, ever so topless Taylor Lautner?
You have asked the question yourself, but who do you think is the fairest of them all? In the fashion world that is!?
What are your 3 make-up must haves, you simply cannot leave the house without?
Stepping away from the cookie cutter Hollywood celebs my third cover girl option would be Sam Faiers, Yes the one from “TOWIE” and I know what your thinking, this girl must be mad, we are an international fashion magazine not a run of the mill gossip tabloid.
Although she is well known for partying it up in Essex, she has recently come out in revealing she is a sufferer of Trichotillomania.
Trichotillomania affects around 3.4% of women and 1.5% of men, according to Trichotillomania Support. It is, in most cases, a long-term, impulse control condition in which people feel an urge to pull their hair out (either from the head, eyebrows or eyelashes) during times of anxiety, stress and upset. After the hair has been pulled, sufferers feel a sense of relief. There is virtually no cure for this illness.
Having Sam on the cover and featuring an article on Trichotillomania in the Elle UK October issue would be a great leverage in spreading awareness about the illness, and maybe even help to lose the stigma attached to it.
Here at Elle we are always intrigued by street style and of course the streets of Essex has popped up on our radar, how could we miss it. In your opinion why do you think the Essex style has created such controversy?
How did you find the courage to speak out about your battle with Trichotillomania? And why did you decide to share it the world?
